IPv6 test day

On 08 June 2011 the Internet Society (ISOC) has choosen this day as the IPv6 test day to test the ability of IPv6. The test as some of the website participated reported went very well though there were some slowdawn at some point (such as web page take too long as usual to open). Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Akamai, Cisco, and W3C were some of the website participated in this test. I have heard that before the end of this year(2011) IPv4 migh just run out of addressing space. IPv6 is currently running parallel to IPv4 and if this test show a positive result to all sebsites tested  then we should put our hopes to IPv6.

Microsoft Windows 8

Where ever I go people keep on saying that they can't wait to see what new in Microsoft Windows 8 though M Microsoft has shown videos of what to expect in Windows 8. I would be happy if Windows 8 could be less complicated than Windows 7. May user who are not computer literacy found windows 7 very complicated more especially the start menu where every things starts.Windows 8 is said to be released sometime next year(2012) . Let wait and see.

Are we told the truth hire?

The cracked(hacked) of the International Minerity Fund system posed many question. Though I have never been at those offices but I would reckon that nobody get in or out as he/she please due to the importance of data possess at the system vithin the offices. We were told that crackers installed the software to one of the computers at the IMF offices but one would wonder how did it happened ( though to IT skilled person this would be as easy as ABC). Though again  I am not sure whether that software was installed physically of remotely but who ever did it should very skilled.

Tools such as Keylogers that are used to crack lost password and monitor what is happening in your computer, I just think were used in this cracking. I know that the developers of this tool(keyloger) always make it clear that the intentions of it is not for wrong doing such as cracking but I am sure that crackers may find it useful in the cracking purpose.The IMF was system cracked sometimes later but were only told a weeks ago just after one it superiors has left the office. I think this also raise more question as to why now.As always China is always a number one suspect in such situations and Google also suspect China as the top USA leaders email account were cracked also. Before we point the fingers to china I think IMF should search it self first.
